@voodoo so if a player gets a red card, they shouldn't be further sanctioned?
Yes, that's absolutely what he said. And everyone here agrees too.

He's already replied, but thanks.

depends on the incident - obvious foul play (think the Italians tip tackle) at least three weeks versus a clumsy tackle - off for the remainder of the game or the following game if it occurs late in the game.

The sanctions are already different for the different "types" of foul play. They also have a different scale within those sanctions for Top/Mid/Low range.

Tonga hooker Paula Ngauamo suspended for seven weeks
The disciplinary hearing in relation to the citing of Tonga hooker Paula Ngauamo for an act of foul play contrary to Law 9.12 (kicking) in their Rugby World Cup 2019 Pool C match against USA took place in Tokyo on 15 October. The independent Judicial Committee was chaired by Alan Hudson (Canada) joined by former international player Stefan Terblanche (South Africa) and former referee Valeriu Toma (Romania). The player admitted that he had kicked his opponent in the face and accepted this was at least mid-range offending as he had made contact with his opponent’s head. The committee agreed and applied World Rugby’s mandatory minimum mid-range entry point, which was introduced in 2017 to protect player welfare, deter high contact and prevent head injuries. This resulted in a starting point of an eight-week suspension. Taking into account the mitigating factors that are considered in relation to sanction, including the player’s early admission and disciplinary record, the committee reduced the eight-week entry point by one week, resulting in a sanction of seven weeks. Ngauamo is returning to Tonga today prior to resuming club duty with Agen in the Top 14. The player will be suspended for his next seven weeks of club rugby on his return to France..
Only 1 week deduction for the player’s early admission and disciplinary record. Not 50%, I wonder why?

@Stargazer @Bovidae and he kicked a bloke in the face. How that is due any mitigation is beyond me

I've tried finding a clip of it; maybe it was completely accidental? I'm not going to form an opinion without knowing the facts. Still waiting for the full decision to become available.
I think if it had been deliberate, they would have started at a top-end entry-point of 12 weeks (or higher), not a mid-range entry point of 6 weeks.

Fucking hell Skeen haven't you caused enough trouble?

@Machpants Yep, stupid. He could have asked for a different date & time for the disciplinary hearing, if the initial appointment didn't suit him because of his travel. The cited Uruguayan did that, too. His French club won't be happy.
